F. W. CADY

     is one of the foremost citizens of Beaverton, and has been a resident of
the town since 1893. Born in Omro, Wis., September 4, 1861, he is a son of A. B.
Cady, a native of Elmira, N. Y., and born May 23, 1823. The elder Cady learned
the shoemaker's trade in early youth, and followed the same in New York state
for many years. His business was materially enlarged after removal to Wisconsin,
where be built up a large boot and shoe trade, manufacturing a first-class
article, and doing a more than local business. He left Wisconsin in 1869 and
settled on a farm in one of the most fertile parts of Kansas, removing from
there in 1891 to Portland, where he is now living a retired life. He has been
prominent in general affairs in Washington county, and as a Republican has
stanchly upheld the principles and issues of his party.
     His four years' service as county treasurer but served to strengthen the
confidence in which he is held by all who know him, for during that time he
faithfully attended to the best interests of the county. A meritorious war
record is one of the creditable undertakings which have rendered his life broad
in scope and worthwhile, and during the service he became captain in the
Forty-eighth Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry. His wife died in 1885.
     Until his marriage with Mamie Hills in 1890 F. W. Cady remained at home
with his father. and during that time had superior educational advantages in the
public schools of Portland; and at the business college of that town. For
several years he was associated with his father in the boot and shoe business,
and in 1893 removed to Beaverton, where he engaged in a general merchandise
business until April, 1902. At the present time he is acting in the capacity of
village postmaster, agent of the Southern Pacific Company, and as a general
broker. He deals largely in Oregon Burbank potatoes and yellow Danver onions,
selling in car load lots in all parts of the state. For two terms he served as
village treasurer. A Republican in politics, he has held several other offices
of trust and responsibility. Mr. Cady is fraternally associated with the United
Artisans, and the Masonic order of Beaverton.  His family consists of his wife
and two children, Ruth H. and Willis L.  Mr. Cady enjoys to an exceptional
degree the good will of his fellow townsmen, and his business sagacity and
excellent judgment regarding general town affairs have resulted in great good to
the community.
